Pat spent her career in education, retiring from Greenburgh Central 7 School District in 2000 as a Guidance Counselor at Woodlands High School.

She was active at her parish Grace Episcopal Church, in White Plains for over 50 years. A great cook and baker, Pat also loved to spend time in her garden. Above all, she loved being a wife, mother, and especially a grandmother. Pat lived for her two grandchildren, and always treasured spending time with them. Both were the apple of her eye.
